About

This very popular BSc Occupational Therapy (Hons) course at the Queen Margaret University will give you the expertise, people skills and conceptual understanding that you’ll need to work as an occupational therapist. 

Overview

Key facts

On this BSc Occupational Therapy (Hons) course at the Queen Margaret University you will learn how to work with individuals, groups and communities to foster their participation in occupations that promote their health, wellbeing and social involvement.

Living, not existing – that’s a primary objective for the profession. This means that as an occupational therapist, you will give practical support to empower people, facilitate their health and well-being and help them overcome barriers to do the things that really matter to them. This course is your first step towards a rewarding health care career with excellent employment prospects.

Why QMU?

  • Our graduates are recognised by employers as being independent learners who can solve problems creatively.
  • You’ll be taught by highly experienced lecturers who are well-respected in their fields. They engage in innovative research, contribute to knowledge development and translation and have strong personal links with practice settings.
  • We have small class sizes so our staff will really get to know you. We genuinely care about your journey and will recognise your strengths and where you most need support.

Careers

Your degree will open doors to a rewarding and stimulating career in NHS Trusts, local authority social care departments, voluntary organisations, private practice or industry. Your work as an occupational therapist may not necessarily be in a medical setting, hospital or clinic. 

Many of our graduates pursue the exciting variety of work opportunities in the community, which include working with the voluntary sector and in primary care. The course will enable you to work as part of a team with other health and social care professionals. Should you wish to pursue a more academic career path there are opportunities to study at master’s and PhD level at QMU.
